Anti bacteria Corings, Perspective and Opportunities
Written by – Anees Ahmed
Bacteria are present everywhere in the environment. In most of the time during sampling or collection of certain materials in certain environment for laboratory experiments and other industrial purposes it is important to have aseptic technique or the technique to reduce or to remove the microbes during sampling process. Most of biopharmaceutical processes for analysis of their samples involves this kind of techniques. One of the typical methods involves antibacterial corings. It is basically antibacterial substance used to form polymer. It is a method of sample collection. These are monomers having antibacterial properties and these monomers are used to form polymer which are cored. Generally they are heterocyclic, quaternary ammonium compounds.
A view to develop this antibacterial technique:
Typically these antibacterial monomers are made of quaternary ammonium compounds. A lot of research has been carried out to make use of organic and inorganic, heterocyclic, quaternary ammonium compounds. This technique has a wide variety of application. Basically it is a monomer having antibacterial properties and this monomer is used to form polymer in the form of gels are coated over instruments or sampling materials to provide antimicrobial effect. It becomes an integral part of any surface to which it is applied. This antibacterial coring has its application on obtaining crust rock sample, in oceanography, textile industry and other corer for sampling purposes. One of the present inventions provides a method for obtaining core samples crust. This method provides extraction of core samples crust, including the crust drilling, wherein, the crust core sample is coated with an antimicrobial polymer gel state obtained; the gel is obtained by polymerizing a monomer antibacterial polymer. This polymer obtained is a phosphonium salt compound and is hydrophilic in nature.
Other sampling techniques include use of polyvinyl corer preferably for soil sampling.
This antibacterial coring technique is also used in textile industry provides antibacterial finishing to the cloth material. On this research has been done for development of this textile material by making use of organic and inorganic compounds, heterocyclic, quaternary ammonium compounds, etc. Some recent developments in antibacterial products include a process involving the preparation of antibacterial resins containing phenol derivatives (Nonaka 1997).
Many other products are also available nowadays which employs polymerized antibacterial corings. Door fittings, knobs, wash basins, glass, etc are made with antibacterial protection which is a polymer structure of nylon and this cored antibacterial will not wash away easily and remain active for longer period thus providing permanent antibacterial effect.
A Review on this antibacterial corings:
The antibacterial coring method for obtaining crust core samples by polymer was invented in 2000s and was patented. This method was found to be most widely studied and popular at present. Other sampling corer were studied from many years and was in practice till now, this includes simple soil sampling corer. However the there is always a challenging situation in antibacterial corer and sampling materials. The invention of antibacterial cored glasses, handles, etc are advance study using nylon polymer. Textile with antimicrobial finishing is also a popular and was studied for a long years.

Observations:
From all the above described inventions and studies carried out for antibacterial corings it was observed that there is a very little research has been done on this aspects and this type of study is not so popular and not widely studied. One of the key feature is that everything is made of a polymer and synthetic one and has a wide application, hence there is a scope of developing this antibacterial coring technique , wide spread opportunities and still there is lot to study and research can be carried out in view to develop this antibacterial coring technique.
